Daisy's Little Hard Bump/Spot

Hi

While grooming Daisy I can feel a little hard bump / spot on her side its a bit
like a dry hard pimple probably no more than 5 mm across and its dry .
It doesn't seem to bother her in any way and she doesn't scratch at it
so any ideas what it may be please ,or is it just what it seems to be.

It could well be a wart - Oliver has a ring of them around his neck. Generally they don't cause any problems, though his harness rubbed one on his chest and made it messy, but keeping it clean and protecting it until the scab was ready to come off was all that was needed. Unless Daisy's bump gives other cause for concern, I should just get the vet to take a look next time you're going anyway, rather than make a special visit.

I was thinking a sebaceous cyst as well. Jasper had one many years ago and I went to the vet as I was worried what it was. She squeezed it out but said it might return which in about a years time it did but I left it and it eventually burst and he has never had one again.

Dj had one of these, the skin around it looked dry. We had it squeezed and it came back a while later, but then dried up of it's own accord and didn't go completely but is a lot smaller/flatter with no scab. It didn't bother him even when touched.
